A/N: …blame DC universe Online…..xD I am ABSOLUETLY hooked on that game. I started I think on Thursday or something and now I am level 19, 11, 7, and 10, I think :P
Three villains and one superhero. :)
Anyways, I leave you a cliff hanger with what happened at chapter 9, as I must switch scenes to Professor I-have-an-alligator-in-my-ass.
Sorry for the wait guys! Here is your chapter! :) I hope you like it.
Professor Kellen was not a very happy man at the moment. For starters, his precious concentration was lost. Then, some damn kids broke into his lab and one of them happens to hack into his computer successfully as well as the security cameras (although he doesn't know how on earth someone can do that) and gotten all of his information from it. The man burst through the doors, startling everyone. He mumbled and grumbled all sorts of foul language. The workers nearby didn't dare to speak to him, nor get in his way. He trudged on by and towards another set of doors and opened them.
"Miranda!" he hollered throughout the lab. The once quiet and concentrated workers were startled; some almost dropped the equipment they held. A woman with a long platinum blonde braided hair-do, and bangs that swept to her left side, didn't bother to look up from her clip board. She looked at the lab rats that were being experimented on wrote notes and what not.
"MIRANDA, YOU DAMN INGNORANT FOOL, DO NOT IGNORE ME."
"What is it now Kel, as you can see I'm a bit busy at the moment." She answered back, not bothering to even look up.
"Have you taken a look at last night's surveillance cameras? Or even perhaps heard of what happened at all?"
"I heard of what happened but I didn't get the chance to see the tapes, why did our mysterious anomaly that keeps setting off our alarms every now and then get caught on tape? I really do hope so, that way I can contain the blasted thing once and for all."
"No, but it was thanks to whatever the thing was that always sets the alarms off because—"
"I know what happened, no need to explain it; a group of meta-human juveniles broke in the lab without our knowing and obtain information from our systems. The alarm that went off didn't really matter since some fool decided to raid our fridge thinking that food was in there only to see blood samples of the rats. Fred came in the time to put a new set in and alarmed everyone of who he found in there."
"For your information, they were not JUST meta-human juveniles. One was a Martian from the color of her skin, related to Martian Manhunter, one was clearly Superman's clone that broke free of Cadmus, a dark skinned Atlantean partner to the King of Atlantis, Orin. Another who is partner to the fastest man alive, the one who raided the fridge I assume, green arrow's partner, and last but not least, the one who was responsible of all our missing data and the one who hacked our security cameras, part of the dynamic duo, partner to the very Batman himself, Robin the boy wonder."
"So you're saying that the Justice League sent their 'partners' on a mission to obtain information for them and that we should be on full alert because any one of them can come busting through our roof any minute now and stop our process?"
"Always the one to catch on quick, sister."
"I was the one to be born first, therefore I am more knowledgeable, and anyways did you come here JUST to tell— "she paused for a second with a look of surprise on her face. "—hold up a second. Did you say that Batman's sidekick hacked our security cameras? Is that even possible?" she said as she turned to him.
"By a few minutes! Do not gloat about that and you finally caught onto that, but yes the confounded little brat was the one who stole all our data and hacked the cameras."
"Seems like your taking this very hard, you do know we have it all backed up on the computer at home, right?"
"Yes I do know but it just angers me deeply that all of my precious work that I have spent years on that were not to be made public was taken all in a flash. WHO KNOWS? Batman could even find out a way to reverse the process if he takes a glance at the data!" Kellen moaned as he pulled his hair to show frustration. "Luthor is going to have my head for this, he warned me before that data will be leaked out to the Justice League." he said as is moaned more.
"I want to see those videos that were hacked into." She said. "We can talk more on the way to the security room, since you broke the monitor in your lab."
"I was merely taking my anger out on an inanimate object instead of one of the security gaurds."
"You fired the weapon at a bunch of kids?" she exclaimed as she walked down the hall. "The weapon wasn't even completed yet, have you even found out what it might do to them, and I do remember that two of them were humans. The weapon was designed for Meta-humans only. Shooting at people that belong in the ocean will anger the King of Atlantis, shooting at the only Martian left besides Martian Manhunter himself will anger him greatly and I really do not want to see a calm person angry. Shooting at H-U-M-A-N-S and we might as well have a bunch of cops, army or whoever on our heads! Besides there was only one Meta human in that group and it was the one that Fred had caught raiding the fridge!"
"I couldn't just let them leave with my data unscathed. I did what had to be done and what they deserved." He said. "And besides using rats as test subjects is not getting us very far, so I thought that using live human guinea pigs would get us somewhere." He said with his head raised up. "And does it really matter if it's made for Meta human or not? If it works on other species than I am giving Mr. Luthor a bonus, which will appear as a bonus on my paycheck."
"You might as well bring them all in so we can keep them under our watch to see any changes."
Kellen raised an eyebrow. "You mean capture and contain them?" he grinned "That sounds awfully devious for a calm one like yourself"
"Must be genetic." She said as she turned and walked into the security room. "I just wonder what effects it has on them, most of all, the Meta human…Kid Flash I assume."
"The boy, Robin, as well, I want to make him pay for wiping out my entire data."
The two watched the security video from last night. She saw how the green little head, obviously bearing resemblance to its creator, smirking, bobbing its head side to side. She heard the cackles as if it were mocking the viewer. Seeing it multiply until it made a huge version of the little head, hearing the millions of cackles and having it stop. She saw the smirk on its face get larger, turning into a wide grin. A large cackle and the screen went blank.
Kellen was using all his might to not totally go berserk again.
As for Miranda, she was a bit fascinated. Never did she come across someone who could hack into surveillance cameras, and never that quick.
"Fascinating, I myself as well as my colleagues have tried doing this, but none of us succeeded. For a boy—no—a child! For a child to be able to do that so quickly it's just amazing. He probably broke a record!" she turned to her brother. "Brother! I must see what information that boy contains in his head!" she said, her eyes sparkling.
"Do not worry; he will be in my hands soon. They all will, but we must start making special containment facilities, as well as move into an entirely new area, one that runs deep underground."
"I know a tunnel leading the way into the Cadmus's now buried lab. I remember them having a very somewhat deep lab."
"Perfect. When shall we begin?"
"Right after we obtain more information from previous villains whom have successfully captured and contained the main Justice League. The humans won't be much of a problem, Kidflash is pretty easy, we can just use gravity, albeit for the Martian and the Atlantean, and the Kryptonian will be a bit tricky."
"I'm sure we can figure things out." He said.
A security guard near them left after they had finished chatting. As he reached the stairwell to go down, he began undressing, removing his uniform. As he reached an emergency exit, he opened the door, being careful to not make any alarms go off. As he reached the large dumpster, he opened the lid and pulled an unconscious man out. Putting the uniform back on precisely as how it was when he knocked the guard out. The unknown man pulled out a near empty alcoholic beverage, he poured some on the man's mouth, and a little on his shirt, to give an appearance that the man drank on duty. The young man quickly fled the area and out of sight. As he was out of range from the building he put his hand to his ear.
"Green Arrow."
Static, but a voice finally reached through. "…...This is Green Arrow—wait, Roy?"
"There is a reason why some heroes have aliases you know, Secret Identity."
"Don't sass be boy, you only shocked me, I just never thought that you'd contact me in times like these, especially when it's still daylight out."
"Well I can hang up and try another person if you'd like."
"No! No, sorry—just—what do you need? You sorta caught me in a bad time."
"What, did my replacement get a boo-boo."
"A bit more than that I'm afraid."
"I was only kidding—wait what about the rest of the team?"
"At the moment, not too hot. Something happened during their last mission. Although we don't know who did this to them or the reason why."
"I might have an answer to that."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm on my way, I'll explain things there, Batman is there as well right?"
"Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and Flash are here."
"Good, I won't have to repeat myself then—ARRRRGH" Red Arrow let out a roar of pain from a bit of his right shoulder. He turned around to see the two people, Kellen and Miranda, chasing after him.
"Damn they saw me. I'll talk to you later, Red Arrow out."
"Next time I promise I won't miss and you really didn't believe that we hadn't figured out we had a little pest in the building?" Kellen mocked, swinging his upgraded weapon in the air.
"Actually, we didn't he would've gotten away if one of the security guard hadn't of seen him taking the stairwell that was closed off for inspection." Miranda told her brother.
Red Arrow gritted his teeth. Damn! He was so close to leaving. He got up quickly and reached for two explosive arrows and shot it at the ground in front of them.
"You won't go unharmed, lucky for me; I added a new feature to my baby. At first it didn't hurt, but now…it does" He smiled menacingly. "HA!" he shot the weapon again.
Red Arrow smirked to himself; the beam would only collide with his arrows, causing an explosion and a perfect chance for him to flee the area. As he waited, he saw the beam phasing straight through the arrows as if it weren't there. He quickly dodged the beam only to land in range of a second beam, successfully hitting him this time. He felt tremendous pain searing through his body. Then, his explosive arrows had reached the ground in front of the two causing a huge explosion, though the two had ran for cover in nearby trees. Red Arrow took the chance and quickly fled the scene.
"Did we honestly need another human guinea pig?" Miranda complained. She honestly didn't mind but they didn't know if they had enough room for seven children.
"hurmph, the more the merrier to me."
A/N: I'm sorry if Roy/Red Arrow is a bit OOC DX
